First, I think it 's cute how you 're dictating what I should think, as if I 'm incapable of developing an knowledgeable opinion. Secondly, before we continue with Immigration reform we have to shut the border and figure out what to do with the people here. Period. The only reason you have to shut the border is due to the welfare state.
Comprehensive immigration reform would not only be a practical and humane solution to clarifying the legal status of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants that currently reside in this country (Dann 2013), but would also address the issues of labor demand and immigration enforcement. Citizenship would be granted to those undocumented immigrants currently within our borders. These people have established a life here in America. Most work and pay taxes, some have children who were born here and thus have citizenship, and all consume goods and services which benefit the economy. It would also be impractical to deport an estimated 11 million people in any reasonable time frame.
According to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the cost of harboring illegal immigrants each year in the United States is $113 billion. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that there are approximately twelve million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States. Based on these statistics, it is not a surprise that immigration reform has taken top priority on the agenda of the Obama Administration. Suggestions on a workable solution have created a division between citizens, advocates, and political parties. On proposed solution is grating amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Immigration reform has been a big issue for our country in recent years. Many U.S. citizens claim that immigration is harmful to the US economy. In just 20 years, we have seen the average number of immigrants per year jump a staggering 20%. This has lead to the biased opinions we see towards immigration today. Currently, our country is not receiving any benefit from immigration.
Illegal Immigration has become one of the biggest issues the United states faces in the 21st Century. Everyday more and more immigrants cross our border illegally to find work, education or even healthcare. While that may not sound all too bad, it creates a big question, who pays for all of this? And the answer to that question is you! The hardworking taxpayers of America.
Immigration Reform and Control Immigration, while unescapably the central element aiding the establishment and growth of the United States, has long been a topic of debate between opposing ideologues in the country especially members of Congress. With the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, many hoped that all jobs across the country would be filled only by individuals legally allowed to obtain them citizens and authorized aliens (Chishti & Kamasaki, 2014). Since all employers are required by this law to verify that employees are eligible to hold a job in the United States (US), human resource departments have a heavy responsibility in this regard. In reality, however, it is widely known that a large number of employees
The U.S. political landscape is influenced by the debates over immigration and the pros and cons associated with it. It is necessary for policymakers to construct a compatible secure, economic, and humanitarian environment in this country. It has always been a challenge for Congress to formulate comprehensive immigration reform that support the country regarding security and economic issues. The Congress was also unable to incorporate the implication of vital policy decisions into the judicial and executive branch of the government that would enable the whole system to take certain actions against illegal immigration, which somehow was causing scarcity of resources. This issue also causes a severe effect on the economy and security of the United
Illegal immigration is not only breaking the law, but it is extremely dangerous which is why immigration reform is necessary. These people risk their lives to come over for a better life and not everyone makes it across. The few immigrants that do make it inside the United States border are not yet safe because they have to deal with pimps that use the women as prostitutes, and other employers who work them as disposable objects. These illegal immigrants can not oppose their employers as they are just that, illegal, and the fear of being deported shuts down any will to speak out against their unjust treatment (Tunali 243). Some illegal immigrants pay taxes to try to limit the amount of laws they break by using fake social security cards/sharing one card, but seeing as they are sharing, only one person receives the social security benefits (Tunali 254).
In modern day society, immigration has become the center of much attention and also much controversy, from an economic perspective or a political one, and even came to be a major driving force of the 2016 United States presidential election. In 2007, the United States reached its peak record of 12.2 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, which was approximately 4% of the United States population at the time. Following the recession, the numbers have declined and remained relatively consistent around 11 million, with 11.3 million estimated in 2016. While there are many pros and cons to this ongoing debate like helping contribute to the economy, and becoming a stronger nation, i believe immigration reform may be beneficial
Immigration is not a new concept; on the contrary, it’s what established this country. The founding fathers were immigrants themselves, or they were descended from them. Instead of defending our borders from people just like our founders, we should be open and welcoming to them because “It would be a tragedy if America were to turn toward a false sense of security just when… the real solution is so obvious from our own American heritage” (Johnson and Kane). Firstly, immigrants are not a threat to our borders, so refusing to let them enter doesn’t advantage us in any way and would only, as Johnson and Kane said, give us a false sense of security. With that in consideration, the logical and humanly thing to do is to honor our rich history by
A lot of people in this world struggle in life, not just back then but currently today. Not just any people, the hispanics, chinese, russians, germans , etc. Those people wake up and hope that they can be with their families everyday. Yet they struggle with life obstacles that they have to overcome throughout their life because they play a big role in the the world too. They come into America sometimes not to start a life but to mess up others.
What’s so bad about Immigration? Immigrants see America as a structured foundation where their children are able to get a stable education and have the chance to enrich their lives. The issue of illegal immigration has been an ongoing controversy for years now and will only continue to grow if we don’t come to realize the positive effects it has. Many Americans view immigrants as those who come here to take jobs away from the citizens and waste americans tax money.
In the past century the immigration crisis is becoming a growing issue. According to the UN Refugee Agency (2017), the main immigrant flow was departed from Africa and Asia, and the year 2015 became critical, seeing that it was the peak of immigrant arrival: since that time, the variety of countries, representatives of which continue to migrant to Spain, is fluctuating constantly from hundreds to thousands of people. The two stances as the two sides of this crisis: the Spanish government and the immigrant society, and, what is more beneficial for one of them, creates problems to another one. To be more specific, the political actions that are leading to expenses for the living conditions of immigrants and the immigration law projects on one hand, or the rise of unemployment and the question of safety because of indifference, on the other.
The American Dream is considered to be an ethical appeal that portrays the idea of freedom and equal opportunity to all. What makes this concept so desirable is that in many countries throughout the world don't have the opportunities that are offered in the U.S., which eventually leads people to immigrate. By immigrating to the U.S., thousands of individuals will be able to search for opportunities they never had before to help lead them to a better life. Though the concept itself seems straight and simple, the established laws that have been made have made this task so much difficult. With political leaders such as President Trump fearing that immigrants pose a threat to the labor force and a contributor to crime rates, there has been more
Should immigration be legal? I believe that immigration should be legal, immigrants are not just coming to bug us, but they are coming for their own needs, a new home, a new job, or they come because they want to live like us “Such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression”(Arizaga, The Gramblinite). Immigrants need the same equal rights but they may not get that in their country, such as the 1st Amendment, which is they want to have the freedom of religion,speech,press,petition, and assembly. We may not agree with what they believe but we have that freedom so why can't they come into our country to get that freedom they want. Even though if they are illegal they may run into more obstacles.
